The photographs I make fall into two very different categories: landscape and still life. One requires being outdoors, in natural light, making visual sense of the world around me. The other takes place indoors, often with studio lights, creating the setting I wish to photograph from scratch. And yet, there is a synergy between the two.
Lee Anne, after taking your two classes on nature in the studio, I am questioning what I want to include in still lifes. I have begun collecting object from the desert which surrounds me and also continuing to collect dolls and other "treasures" from my childhood and from my children's childhoods. Still thinking deeply of what represents a sense of place for me. It is an evolving quest for an answer and I am enjoying the process.
Pamela, I often find it is helpful to just spread my collections out on a table to see what speaks to me. I can mix and match that way, too. This way, it becomes a fun, intuitive process. I have no doubt you will come up with some interesting combinations!
